INTRODUCTION
BY STEPHEN WILLARD PHILLIPS
When the customs district of Newburyport was merged with that of Boston in 1915 and the independent Cus- toms House was abolished, the old customs records were deposited with the Newburyport Historical Society. That society, feeling that they had not the facilities for prop- erly caring for them and if possible publishing some of the more interesting ones, turned them over to the care of the Essex Institute in 1927. The Essex Institute had already in its archives a vast amount of interesting mate- rial relating to Salem and other places, and had already published the Ship Registers of Salem.
After a careful examination of the Newburyport rec- ords, it seemed to the Committee on Publications of the Institute that it was highly desirable to publish the Ship Registers of Newburyport in a similar form and they procceded to do so. The Ship Register is a rather ver- bose document and it is felt that the form adopted in publishing the Salem Ship Registers and now followed in the case of the Newburyport Registers gives as many of the essential facts as are necessary. It gives the name of the vessel, the rig, the tonnage, the place and date where built, and the owner or owners and captain when first registered. Whenever there is a change of owners a new register must be taken out, so if a vessel changed ownership and all or part of the owners were residents of Newburyport several entries might appear. If the ship is entirely sold out of the district, to Boston owners, for instance, the new register would be taken out and the change would not appear in the Newburyport records. Masters often changed while the owners remained the same and no record of these would appear in the regis- ters. It would. of course, be desirable in the form of notes to have inserted when the vessel was sold out of the district or when it was lost or finally disposed of, but
(I)
INTRODUCTION
obtaining such facts accurately would have involved an expenditure of time and money beyond the means of the Institute. In a few cases such information has been included.
It should be remembered also that vessels engaged wholly in coastwise trade, mostly small ones, fishing boats, etc., do not take out registers, and so do not appear in the following list. They are merely enrolled at the Cus- toms House and the record appears in separate form. All boats which took out registers either sailed or ex- pected to sail to foreign ports.
The foreign trade of Newburyport, important as it was in the first part of the nineteenth century, accounts only in a small degree for the number of vessels regis- tered there. The Merrimac River, with its easy access to the important ship building timber of Southern New Hampshire, became a great ship building center, and many ships and smaller vessels destined for the foreign trade were built in Newburyport and along the banks of the River as far up as Haverhill. These vessels were gener- ally registered in first instance in Newburyport and later sold to owners in Salem, Boston, New Bedford, and other places, so that a great many famous vessels at other ports can be found in the registers.
SHIP REGISTERS OF THE DISTRICT OF NEWBURYPORT. 1789-1870.
COMPILED FROM THE NEWBURYPORT CUSTOM HOUSE RECORDS, NOW IN POSSESSION OF THE ESSEX INSTITUTE.
The work of assembling in alphabetical order the names of all vessels registered at the Port of Newburyport from 1789 to 1870, together with date of registry, type of vessel, tonnage, measurements, owners and masters, is presented in form similar to the Ship Registers of Salem and Beverly, published by the Essex Institute in 1900.
The District of Newburyport comprised not only the port of Newburyport, but all the waters and shores from the New Hampshire line to the north line of Ipswich, including Newbury, Amesbury, Salisbury, Merrimac, Haverhill, Rowley, Bradford, Groveland and West New- bury. The Custom House at Newburyport was abolished in 1915, at which time all business at that port was transferred to the Gloucester Custom House. Two years before this order went into effect, the old records of the Newburyport Custom House were turned over to the His- torical Society of Old Newbury, which society later de- posited them for preservation with the Essex Institute.
In addition to the registers received from the New- buryport Custom House, this compilation includes also the early registers which were sent to Washington many years ago in connection with the French spoliation claims, and are now on deposit in the Treasury Department. The information contained in these has been obtained in order to make the work complete. It is believed that the list will be found to be fairly accurate and comprehensive as pertaining to foreign bound vessels belonging to this district. It must be remembered that, in the names of masters of vessels, those only are given who happened to be in command of a vessel when it changed ownership.

There were other masters of the same vessel, in many cases, whose names it is not possible to obtain from the registers. The hailing port of each vessel is not given, if belonging to Newburyport.
The Essex Institute is indebted to Col. Lawrence Waters Jenkins, Director of the Marine Department of the Pea- body Museum, Salem, for valuable suggestions in the compilation of this work.
